BDP
automation solutions for natural
gas compression projects
BDP Inc. provides
automation solutions across the
natural gas industry, from well
head to pipeline delivery
points. The BDP team
provides engineering services
that are tailored to our clients
needs, including supplemental
engineering, owner engineer
responsibilities, E/I design
services, control system design
and programming, as well as site
support for commissioning.
BDP Inc. provides automation
solutions for E&P clients to
automate gathering systems and
for Midstream clients to automate
pipeline stations and processing
facilities. Sample
compressor station automation
projects being implemented by the
BDP team are further described
below.
Station and
Unit Control Upgrades
<> Recent BDP
project in east Texas included
owner engineer responsibility to
design control system upgrades
for an existing compressor
station. The control system
retrofit included PLC upgrades
for the Station controller as
well as individual Unit
controllers. The BDP team
provided equipment selection,
system design, programming and
commissioning services to
supplement our client’s
procurement and construction
activities. The BDP team
provided engineering services
beginning with scope development
and project funding, through
control system commissioning and
operator training.
Station
Control Panel Assembly and
Programming
<> BDP was
awarded control system
responsibility for a new
compressor station being built in
western Colorado. The
competitive bid included panel
fabrication and PLC programming
services based on design drawings
provided by the owner’s
general contractor.
The control system scope includes
a Station PLC with remote IO
drops for a gas dehydration
package and station yard
valves. The BDP team will
provide PLC and HMI programming
services with panel assembly and
shop test in Houston, plus site
support for loop check and
commissioning. These BDP
Inc. services were offered as a
competitive, fixed-cost value
based on the client’s
project scope requirements.
Station E/I
Design and Control System
Programming
<> BDP is
currently providing engineering
services as part of our
client’s project team for
the first of multiple compressor
stations to be built for
Marcellus Shale production in
northeastern Pennsylvania.
Working under the direction of
the E&P project manager, and
in parallel with multiple
contractors and suppliers, the
BDP team is providing control
system design as well as
comprehensive E/I design for the
compressor station. The E/I
design services include
instrument specifications, power
systems, lighting systems,
electrical building designs, and
E/I installation details.
The BDP team is also providing
control system design and
programming services for Station
PLC panel assembly and serial
device integration through site
support for commissioning.
BDP Inc. is proud of
our relationships and ongoing
project opportunities with both
operating companies and
engineering contractors in the
natural gas processing
industry. We continually
strive to enhance our skills and
flex our services to meet or
exceed our client’s
expectations. Contact BDP Inc. for more
information on similar control
system services and process
control improvements to enhance
your plant operations today.
